Really opened up my world to who’s out there and the different approaches to practice.”  \n“I didn’t want it to end! It was so grounding and supportive for me and helped me quiet the chaos around us.” \n“It gave me an appreciation of different meditation styles and allowed me to consider my own practice differently. It also held me accountable\, since there was an email every day with a new session.” \n“Diversity\, diversity\, diversity. The range of teachers\, styles and ways of being with the mind\, body\, breath and all aspects of this dynamic human experience.”  \n“It’s been so helpful during an especially hard month. I feel it’s deepened my practice and I’ve gotten a lot of insight out of a few of the guests in particular. Now my friend and I will continue to meet at 6:00am even without the structure of this program which seems like a great outcome.”  \n“I looked forward to a new meditation every morning. I found it both exciting and enriching to learn about all the different ways in which we can practice meditation. I took notes of what resonated most with me and I am still learning so much.” \n“My favorite aspect was the ability to learn and be in practice with different teachers. The live events were very much appreciated.”  \n“I enjoyed the whole concept and I really appreciated that  the offerings were all 20 minutes long—it made it sustainable at a certain time of day for me.” \n“I loved learning that there are many ways to connect to sangha online.”  \n“I enjoyed the surprise of not knowing the next guest or what they were going to bring.”  \n“This is an amazing program and the fact that I can revisit the meditations that were most meaningful to me is a plus.”

SUMMARY:In-Person and Online: This Is It - The Opportunity of This Moment
DESCRIPTION:In-Person and Online: This Is It – The Opportunity of This Moment \nPart of The Body Remembers Freedom Series\n \nwith Kaira Jewel Lingo and Linds Roberts\n \nThursday\, August 6th\, 2026 | 6:30pm – 8:30pm ET \nIn-Person Location: New York Insight at 115 West 29th Street\, 12th Floor \n \nWhat if this moment—just as it is—is already enough? In this closing session of the Body Remembers Freedom series\, we turn toward the immediacy of our lived experience\, discovering that the freedom we’ve been exploring is not somewhere else\, but right here in how we meet this moment. Through meditation\, embodied practice\, and shared inquiry\, we integrate what has been touched throughout the series—allowing insight\, presence\, and compassion to settle into the body and take root in our daily lives. We also take time to reconnect with our deepest aspirations for how we want to live\, sensing what feels most true and life-giving now. Whether you are returning or joining for the first time\, this session offers a space to arrive fully\, trust your inner knowing\, and explore what it means to live what we remember—right here\, in this moment. \nThis workshop is part of The Body Remembers Freedom\, a monthly series that brings together meditation\, dharma\, and embodied practice in a way that is relational\, grounded\, and alive. Each session includes time for meditation and contemplation\, a dharma talk or shared inquiry\, and InterPlay\, a playful and powerful practice using movement\, voice\, storytelling\, and deep listening to access the wisdom of the body. \nParticipants are supported to be: \n\nMore grounded and connected to their bodies and to one another\nMore accountable to themselves and to community\nReconnected to joy\, creativity\, and inner resource\nBetter able to meet life\, and themselves\, with compassion and presence\n\nIn times that can feel scary\, overwhelming\, or isolating\, these gatherings offer a place to put the phone down\, release accumulated stress\, and reconnect with what feels trustworthy and alive. We gather to remember the sacred in ordinary experience and to be held in the support of community. \nNo experience with meditation or movement is required. You are welcome exactly as you are\, with curiosity and a willingness to be present. \nThe Body Remembers Freedom is offered one Thursday a month from 6:30 to 8:30 pm ET and is offered in a hybrid format. During the InterPlay portion of the evening\, Linds Roberts guides participants joining on Zoom\, while Kaira Jewel guides those attending in person. The full group then comes back together for the closing practice. \nSessions are recorded and shared with all registrants after the program\, so you are welcome to sign up even if you cannot attend live. \nIn-Person Registration:\nIn-Person Single Session\n  \nOnline (Zoom) Registration:\nOnline Single Session\n  \nVolunteering \nAll of our programs rely on volunteers to support our teachers and staff with various tasks and responsibilities.
